RICK OVERTON

Rick Overton has been doing stand-up comedy since before there were lockable steering columns on cars. Seriously. Rick believes that Comedy shares it’s roots with Country Western and The Blues because they’re all just complaining to a rhythm.

When not doing stand-up comedy, Rick can be seen on local dog park paths getting to visit all the dogs he wants without having to actually own or pay for any of them. Win-win.

Rick’s philosophy on life is – “One cannot achieve true happiness without Serotonin”
